Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
In the absence of an air quality assessment, insufficient information has
been provided to assess compliance with policy SI 1 (Improving Air Quality) of
the London Plan (2021) and policy LP58 (Improving the Environment -
Pollution) of Hackney’s Local Plan 2033 (2020)
2
Insufficient information has been provided to determine whether the local
noise environment would have an acceptable impact on the amenity of future
occupiers contrary to policy LP2 (Development and Amenity) of Hackney’s
Local Plan 2033 (2020)
3
In the absence of a Unilateral Undertaking or a Section 106 Agreement
(S106) to secure appropriate rent levels in accordance with the Local Housing
Allowance, the development would fail to secure the proposed HMO at an
affordable rent level, contrary to Policy LP22 of the Hackney Local Plan 2033
(2020).
4
In the absence of a Unilateral Undertaking or a Section 106 agreement
securing appropriate mitigation by restricting future occupiers of the
development from obtaining parking permits within the Controlled Parking
Zone the proposed development would likely exacerbate existing parking
stress and congestion on the surrounding highway network. The application
is, therefore, contrary to Policy LP45 of the Hackney Local Plan 2033 (2020)
and Policy T6 of the London Plan (2021).
5
In the absence of a Unilateral Undertaking or Section 106 Agreement to
secure a payment in lieu for carbon off-setting, the proposal would fail to
actively mitigate the impact of climate change, contrary to policies SI 2
(Minimising greenhouse gas emissions) and SI 4 (Managing heat risk) of the
London Plan (2021) and policies LP54 (Overheating) and LP55 (Mitigating
Climate Change) of Hackney’s Local Plan 2033 (2020) and Hackney's S106
Planning Contributions SPD (2020).
